We are a grass roots charity supporting young people and adults locally with their mental health/emotional distress and heavily rely on community based fundraising to support our services. Also connecting with a large audience like this helps us to #BeeTheChange and challenge the stigma around mental health. Thank you Peat & Diesel!"
